The inscription reads 'Temperance Jubilee Fountain 1889'. Temperance fountains (see: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Temperance_fountain ) were erected to encourage the 'lower classes' to cut back on their beer consumption. At some point, this example has been thoughtfully filled with concrete. Behind is the Saltoun mausoleum with very eroded arms of Lord Saltoun just visible.
